Can something occupy negative space?

Question

We know that there is an opposite to everything. Just as something is taking up space in this dimension/reality, is it possible for something to occupy negative space. For something to be less than not there?

Answer 1

Well, actually it's really just a matter of perception. We actually aren't sure that there is an opposite to everything. We believe in certain fundamental laws that are governed by equal and opposite reactions, as well as balancing forces in the universe.

But your premise that there is an opposite to space is an unknowable one. You would posit that there is a sort of anti-space, and that in this space would exist objects, that for us, would be "less than not there."

But our perception only exists in the four dimensions that we perceive, so this idea of yours cannot exist in our form of reality. Even in our science fiction form of hyperspace, all of existence is reduced to an infinitessimally small point. But it is never not there, or less than not there.

I would say that this negative space is really more of a philisophical question.

Answer 2

I suppose its theoretically possible... but we dont know for certain. There exists anti-matter, possibly anti-energy, possibly other dimensions of space-time, possibly other universes/realities. But who knows? A lot of things are described as being possible using mathematics.

Answer 3

The closest you could come to such a concept is in the context of things defined in terms of the absense of something, like a hole.
